Rigevidon

What is Rigevidon and How Does It Work?

Rigevidon is a combined oral contraceptive pill, frequently referred to as "the pill," used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two types of female sex hormones: an oestrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a progestogen (levonorgestrel). These hormones work in tandem to provide highly effective protection against conception when taken correctly.

Rigevidon works in three primary ways to prevent pregnancy:

• Inhibiting Ovulation: It prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg each month.
• Thickening Cervical Mucus: It increases the density of the mucus at the neck of the womb, making it difficult for sperm to reach an egg.
• Thinning the Uterine Lining: It alters the lining of the womb to make it less likely for a fertilised egg to implant.

Rigevidon is now available through online consultation at Prescriptsy. This ensures that you can access your regular contraception safely and conveniently. Our platform connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your medical history before issuing a prescription, which is then dispensed by an EU-regulated pharmacy.

How to Take Rigevidon Properly

To ensure maximum protection, Rigevidon must be taken exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Each strip of Rigevidon contains 21 tablets, each marked with the day of the week.

Daily Routine:

You should take one tablet at the same time every day for 21 consecutive days. Many patients find it helpful to incorporate the pill into a daily habit, such as during breakfast or before bed. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water.

The Seven-Day Break:

After finishing a strip of 21 tablets, you will have a seven-day interval where you take no pills. During this week, you will likely experience a "withdrawal bleed," similar to a period. You remain protected against pregnancy during these seven days, provided you took the previous strip correctly and start the next strip on time.

What to do if you miss a pill:

If you forget to take a tablet, your protection may be reduced. If you are less than 12 hours late, take the missed pill immediately and continue the pack as normal. If you are more than 12 hours late, or have missed more than one pill, refer to the patient information leaflet or contact our clinical team for advice, as you may require additional barrier contraception (such as condoms).

Possible Side Effects

While Rigevidon is safe for the majority of healthy women, it is a prescription-only medication because it is not suitable for everyone. A thorough online consultation is required to assess your suitability for this treatment.

Common Side Effects:

Like all medications, Rigevidon can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. These are often temporary as your body adjusts to the hormones:

• Nausea or abdominal pain
• Headaches or migraines
• Tender breasts
• Mood swings or changes in libido
• Slight weight fluctuations

Important Warnings:

Combined contraceptives like Rigevidon slightly increase the risk of blood clots (venous thromboembolism) and certain rare cardiovascular issues. You should not use Rigevidon if you have a history of blood clots, very high blood pressure, or specific types of migraines (migraine with aura). Smoking significantly increases these risks, especially in women over the age of 35.

During your online consultation, it is vital to provide an honest and accurate medical history. This allows our licensed doctors to ensure that Rigevidon is the safest and most effective contraceptive option for your specific health profile.
